API
In This Article
Collaboration across teams and tools works best when everyone stays in sync and processes flow easily, without friction. This is why we have Asana's API. It's a platform to ensure all of your information is up to date and that your teams stay efficient and in the loop.
Asana’s API provides a means for software and scripts to read information from inside Asana, input information from outside Asana, and automatically react when things change. This can include: consistently doing repetitive or tedious tasks, creating reports on the state of tasks and projects, or staying in sync with other software such as Slack or Salesforce used in your organization.
Asana’s platform is built to be flexible and powerful. It's built to be intuitive enough for all teams to adopt and maintain clarity on the work being done.
If you're looking for further information on how to use Asana's API check out our Developer documentation. If you're interested in learning more about apps, check out our Apps page.
Explore Asana's paid features for free. Get started with a free Asana trial today.
Asana Connect
Asana Connect is an easy and secure way to grant API access to third-party applications without sharing your username and password.
Asana Connect uses OAuth 2.0, an industry standard for authentication. You have likely used OAuth to authenticate and log in to services using your Facebook, Twitter, or Google accounts.
Always use discretion when approving access to your account. Carefully read any access or permission requests from the services to which you are connecting. It is also recommended that you regularly review apps you have authorized and revoke access from integrations you no longer want or need to have access to your account; you can always grant access again later.
You can use this link to access your developer console or follow the steps below:
To review your account's authorized applications:
- Click your profile photo from the top bar and select My Settings
- Navigate to the Apps tab
- Review the Authorized section
You can revoke an app's access at any time from this tab using the Deauthorize button next to that app's name.
Manage PATs and developer apps
If you're a developer, use the Developer App Management page to create Personal Access Tokens.
You can use this link to access your developer console or follow the instructions laid out in the screenshots below:
To access the Developer App Management page:
- Click your profile photo from the top bar and select My Settings
- Navigate to the Apps tab
- Click Manage Developer Apps
From the Developer App Management page, you can:
- Manage or register apps that you own
- Manage or create new Personal Access Tokens
Personal Access Tokens
Personal Access Tokens provide individuals with a low friction means to access the Asana API when writing scripts, working with command line utilities, or prototyping applications. In most cases you should not provide personal access tokens to applications you do not know or fully trust the creator of.
You can use this link to access your developer console or follow the steps below:
Creating a Personal Access Token
- Click your profile photo and select Settings.
- Navigate to the Apps tab.
- Under the Build new apps section, click View developer console.
- Under the Personal access tokens section, click Create new token.
- Enter the token name, tick the I agree to the Asana API Terms checkbox, and click Create token.
- Copy your token for API authentication.
Create a Personal Access token from the Developers App Management page:
- Type a description of what you'll use the Personal Access Token for
- Click Create
- Copy your token and use it to authorize requests
Note
Read more about working with authentication in the Asana API in our developer documentation.
Applications that support accessing Asana on behalf of many users should make use of Asana Connect rather than Personal Access Tokens.
It's good practice to regularly review and deauthorize access tokens you no longer want or need.
